All language subtitles for The MUSKETEERS - S02 E06 - Through a Glass Darkly (720p - BluRay)

LOUIS: Signorfialileo has
proven the moon circles the Earth,

as the Earth circles the sun.

As the new moon
orbits the Earth,

it moves in front of the sun.

Like so. Milady de Winter,

would you do us the
honour of playing the moon?

But I am Venus, Sire.

Well, for the purposes of the
experiment, you shall be the moon.

And the Queen will be the Earth.

It sickens me to see the
Queen humiliated like this.

I can't be here.

I'm going back to the garrison.

The King will
notice your absence.

I doubt it. He seems to
only have eyes for one thing.

See how the moon blocks the
light of the sun from the Earth?

For a moment, only
darkness prevails.

But then, as the moon moves on,

the light slowly returns

to the Earth.

Brilliant explanation. The great
astronomer, Marmion, could not equal it.

They say he has transformed
the old fort at Chatillon

into a mysterious new world.

We shall see.

ROBERT: Yes, Marmion.

Is everything ready
for our guests?

I've seen to it myself.

MARMION: Good.

Ca ll.

Heads.

So it begins.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Welcome, Sire.

The great Marmion is busy with his final
preparations. I'm his servant, Robert.

The old fort is
the perfect setting

for your viewing of the eclipse
and the camera obscura.

If you can see the rotating
mirror on the roof, Sire.

LOUIS: Now stop there.

Yes. It reflects the
image of the sun

through a glass lens

to a viewing surface
inside the building.

With perfect clarity,
Your Majesty.

(LAUGHTER)

A solar eclipse is like God
putting his hand over the sun.

Can't help being nervous.

There's nothing to be scared of.

I know that.

It's just a feeling.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Thank you.

Protection for your
eyes, Your Majesty.

- Thank you very much.
- How wonderful.

(CROWD MU RMU RING)

Now I can stare at you
without being dazzled, Sire.

Secure the house. No
intrusions, no visitors.

(GRUNTING)

(TH EME MUSIC PLAYING)

Welcome, Your Majesty.

I am Marmion.

ROBERT: Follow me, Your Majesty.

The great astronomer.

All Paris is talking
of the eclipse.

MARMION: May I present
the camera obscura.

My wonderful device will allow
Your Majesties to witness every detail.

ANNE: Ah.

ARAMIS: Porthos.

I'll take downstairs.

I'll check the other side.

Our forefathers
regarded a solar eclipse

as a sign the world was ending.

Luckily we are all
modern men now.

And yet we must still allow
God a place in the universe.

When the darkness comes,

will we all feel his
dread hand upon us?

Curb your taste for
showmanship, Marmion.

The King has no
time for nonsense.

At this fateful moment,

we must consider our
own place in the universe.

Do we control our fate,

or are we merely the playthings
of a power beyond understanding?

If I wanted a sermon, Marmion,
I would have gone to church.

(CROWD CHUCKLES)

Behold, the motion
of the heavens!

ATHOS: You'll soon
be wearing it again.

I was a damn fool.

I should have taken that position on
the council when the King offered it.

He has Rochefort now.
He doesn't need me.

You're still a Musketeer.

No.

There will be a
new captain soon.

The eclipse.

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(WOMEN SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

D'ARTAGNAN: Aramis! Porthos!

(SCREAMING)

(BABY CRIES)

One more step,
and the King dies.

No.

(GRUNTING)

D'ARTAGNAN: Porthos.

(GRUNTING)

(WHIMPERS)

- (BABY CRYING)
- (SHUSHING)

There is no escape.

TREVILLE: You should have
gone to the old fort with the King.

Your place is at his side.

I had duties here.

I don't need watching over.
If that's what you're doing.

The idea never crossed my mind.

(HORSE NEIGHING)

TREVILLE: This place has
been my home for too long.

It's time for a change.

End this now and the King
might yet grant you clemency.

Please, Sire. If I say sorry,
will all my sins be forgiven?

Yes, I will consider it.

We both know you would
hang me from the nearest tree.

The die is cast.

There is no turning back.

Show some compassion.

And at least let the
women and the Dauphin go.

What did you say?

Have compassion. Let
the baby and the women go.

- Aramis!
- No!

Leave him alone!

(YELLING)

(GUN FIRING)

I'm going to kill you.

I too have lost friends.

I too know the anguish
of bereavement.

The powerlessness.

The injustice.

You talk too much.

Take him to the cellar.

(GRUNTING)

You won't get away with this.

You know, the King's
absence will be noticed.

You don't think someone
will come looking?

We have hours yet
to entertain ourselves.

I'll have your head for this.

Take him with the other.

That one can stay. The
game must be witnessed.

You cared enough to defend him.

Why?

Because I care about him.

Because he's my friend.

Then tie these friends together.

They can bring
each other comfort.

(BABY CRYING)

We'll get out of
here, all right?

(PORTHOS GRUNTING)

Do you think he
means to kill the King?

God knows. But whatever he wants,
he's been planning this for a long time.

Can you move?

(SCREAMS) Stop!

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

It's no good.

Can't you Musketeers
do anything useful?

Of all the people in all the world,
I've got to be chained to you.

Your friend should
have kept his mouth shut.

We wouldn't be here
and he might still be alive.

Aramis will be all right.

Are you mad? The fall
would have broken his neck.

You don't know Aramis.

I admire your optimism,
however deluded.

If we're going to get out of this,
we'll have to work together. Agreed?

Ag reed.

The time has come
to make choices.

What kind of choices?

MARMION: Simple ones,
with simple outcomes.

A fair likeness.

Ca ll.

For what purpose?

MARMION: That is
the fun of the game.

You don't know
but you must call.

Not unless you tell me why.

Call correctly and you leave.
And call wrong and you die.

You don't mean it.

Shall we find out?

Ca ll.

Is there someone here
braver than your King?

Someone willing to gamble
everything for freedom.

I'll do it.

Ah.

MARMION: You
understand the rules.

There can be no second chances.

No pleading or negotiation.

The immutable laws of chance
must dictate the outcome.

Frankly, I would rather
be dead than listen

to your endless babble
for one more minute.

MARMION: Very well.

Call your fate.

Milady, don't do it.
Don't play his game.

I'm touched by your concern.

I order you not to
risk your life, Milady.

Well, perhaps I can help.

Heads. I call heads.

MARMION: You win.

- You may go.
- I forbid it.

If the King cannot have
his freedom, no one can.

The rules must be obeyed.

I order you to stay, Milady!

In this room, I am
King, and I say she goes.

If my men see the
King's army approaching,

everyone here will be dead
by the time they dismount.

(GRUNTS)

Heads.

I call heads, too.

(COIN TIN KLES)

No!

(SOBS) No.

Another chance.

Give me another chance.

- (GUNSHOT)
- (WOMAN SCREAMS)

Anyone else?

Give me a horse, fast.

Well, don't just
stand there. Hurry up.

(CAws)

(GASPS)

(GROAN5)

We could get one of those hooks.

We can prise these locks off.

And if we only had wings
we could fly out of the window.

MARMION: You think
me cruel. But life is cruel.

One person lives. Another dies.

There is no reason
or rhyme to it.

We make our choices
and then fate intervenes.

How could fate intervene? We all
share the same fate, the same luck.

There's nothing anyone
can do about that.

But some of us have the dice loaded
in our favour by wealth and privilege.

Some of you don't know what
it is to make harsh choices.

In your ease and comfort, you
have never had to face them.

Life is about choice,
Marmion, it can't be avoided.

Now, some choices are unpleasant
and they have to be made.

But there are always
consequences.

My point exactly.

And a king's choices
are the hardest of all.

I am glad to see you engaging
in the spirit of the game.

Take them.

No! No!

(BABY CRYING)

No. F10, no!

No! No! No!

Not my son. I beg
you not to harm him.

It is not up to me.

It is you who must choose.

Let me go with him. My
duty is at the Queen's side.

Take the others.

It's all right.

What are you going
to do with them?

Only what fate decides.

(GASPS)

ANNE: If you let us go
you will be well rewarded.

You don't have to suffer
for Marmion's crimes.

Marmion is my brother. I'd
follow him to hell if he asked me.

ANNE: Hell is where
you're going for this.

I've been there
already, My Lady.

It doesn't frighten me any more.

No matter what you intend to do,

please don't hurt my son.

He's an innocent baby.

Innocent now, but what
will he be when he's a king?

(BABY CRYING)

Get this stuff on the wagons.

Now!

(GRUNTS)

Let us go free and there'll be
another one of these for you.

MARGUERITE: What
will they do to us?

Marguerite.

(SOBBING) I'm so afraid.

We're both afraid.

But we must not show it.

We have the
Musketeers to protect us.

Aramis. Aramis is dead.

The fall.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Get out of my way!

What are you doing here?

We need to speak now. Get Athos.

What? Never seen a woman before?

From the look of
you, probably not.

Brother, a word.

What have you done with
the Queen and my son?

Nothing, yet.

The game is just beginning.

Sit down.

D'ARTAGNAN: Sorry
I brought you into this.

(ROBERT SPEAKS IN DISTINCTLY)

If I'd never spoken to the
Queen you wouldn't be here now.

You only wanted the best for me.

You're the bravest
woman I've ever known.

Did you really think we could do
this without spilling a little blood?

I didn't sign up for
a mass slaughter.

You said you wanted
to teach them a lesson.

If we kill these people,

how are we better than them?

I wish I'd never married.

I wish I was free.

I wish a lot of things,

but we can't change
how the world is made.

We can do anything
if we dare, Constance.

- Do you really believe that?
- Always.

Robert, I love you.

Because of this King,

we are the only
family we have left.

Do you trust me?

Do you have faith?

Remember the plague years.

Trust me, brother, hmm?

Time to make a
choice, Your Majesty.

LOUIS: What choice?

Shall I send this
man into room one,

or room two?

What do these rooms contain?

In one of them,

is your Queen, her
servant, and your son.

In the other, three
of your loyal courtiers.

So, which room is it to be?

What do you intend to do?

Your Majesty, do not
answer him. I will handle this.

Do not answer him!

Sadly, the King's answer
is the only one that matters.

She is a liar and a cheat.

Why should we trust her?

MILADY: Aramis is dead.

The King is in terrible
danger, but, by all means,

let's discuss my moral
character. We have all day.

I'll gather the men.

If they see a troop of
Musketeers, he will kill the King.

- How many men does he have?
- Ten that I saw.

Possibly more.

- We need to surprise them.
- We?

I know the way in.

- I'll lead you.
- All right.

I'll keep them out of sight
until I know the King is safe.

Why do you keep staring at me?

I'm surprised.

For once, you actually seem to care
about something other than yourself.

If the King dies, I lose
my position in court.

It would be a catastrophe.

Forgive me for being naive.

Now, find me something to wear.

(HORSE NEIGHING)

You can't mean it.

You can't be so
much of a monster.

I wasn't once, but this
world made me one.

Now, choose. Which room?

I don't know who is where.

MARMION: That's
the beauty of it.

A choice made blind,
hoping for the best.

I don't know what
you've done with my wife.

My son.

My baby son.

The Dauphin is only
a few months old.

What harm can he
have done to anyone?

What harm has the Queen
done, or anyone of us?

'Tis not me who
would injure them.

Fate will decide.

And the King is
the vehicle of fate.

How can I make such a choice
when the stakes are so high?

Now you're learning the game.

Choose, or I will send
this man into both rooms.

(GRUNTING)

Another few inches will do it.

Save your strength.

Survival is about being patient.

I learnt that in a
Spanish prison.

Five years in jail.

That must have been tough.
How'd you get through it?

You really want to know?

I wouldn't be asking otherwise.

There was a woman.

The thought of
her kept me alive.

I never had you down
as the romantic type.

Because you know
nothing about me.

True.

You and this woman...

Did you two, uh,

get together when you got out?

She is married.

But her feelings for
me haven't changed.

Who is she?

As if I would tell you.

One day she will be mine.

You'll have to sort
her husband out first.

A minor detail.

Well it sounds like you've
got it all planned out.

We're done talking now.

Suits me.

- You ready?
- Yes.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

MARMION: The first
room or the second?

One or two?

One.

May God forgive me.

What, brother?

You swore you would show mercy.

What mercy was shown
to our friends and family?

Have you forgotten
their suffering?

You always intended
it would end like this.

(GROANS SOITLY)

(MAN AND WOMAN SCREAMING)

(GASPING)

Who did you kill?

(SOBBING) Who did you kill?

God damn you! Don't torment him!

The Queen and
your son are alive.

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

Did you kill the others?

MARMION: It was the King's
choice that sealed their fate.

This has nothing to do with
fate. You murdered them.

I take no pleasure
in their deaths.

What happened to you?
What made you like this?

MARMION: I had to
make choices once.

Impossible choices.

Life for one, death for another.

Playing God with the
lives of the people I loved.

Now, you also know
what it feels like.

The gift of life and death.

For the first time in your life,

you understand what
your choices really mean.

So, what did you
think of the eclipse?

Quite a spectacle.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SNIFFS)

(LOCK OPENING)

Your Majesty.

We thought you were dead.

Are you all unharmed?

ANNE: We are quite well.

- And the King?
- Alive when we left him.

If I hadn't found you in time...

Once again you are my saviour.

You still wear it.

Always.

Thank God. Thank
God you're alive.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

I was forgetting myself.

Your joy is understandable.

I share it.

My son is quite well, Aramis.

And better for your protection.

One day he will come to know the loyalty
and bravery of his Musketeers as I do.

We have to get you out of here.

We cannot leave while
the King is in danger.

His first concern will be
the safety of the Dauphin.

Make sure you stay close to me.

So how does this end, Marmion?

Hmm? You kill us
all and then what?

What have you achieved?

Balance.

A harmony in nature.

A shout of defiance in the
face of an indifferent universe.

If I'm going to die for a
cause, I'd like to know what it is.

Does the name Gerberoy
mean anything to you?

Gerberoy? No.

It is,

or was,

a village, an hour or
two east from here.

A kind of humble place a
gentleman rides through quickly.

It was home to a community
of a hundred souls or more.

It was our home.

One day the plague
struck without warning.

People who were healthy at
sunrise were dying by nightfall.

How can you blame me for this?

The King cannot
contain the plague.

MARMION: The plague was harsh.

But it was burning itself out.

We began to believe God
has spared us the worst of it.

Then orders came from the King.

The village was to be blockaded
to prevent the spread of infection.

Anyone who tried
to escape was shot.

LOUIS: Plague villages
have to be contained

to save other lives.

Food should have been
left for us, but it never came.

It wasn't infection
that killed us.

It was hunger.

You starved us to death
out of sheer indifference.

I had to look at my family,

my wife, our two boys,

and I had to choose who would
get the scraps of food I scavenged.

Choose who should live and die.

My wife wouldn't touch a bite
while her children were hungry.

She withered away
before my eyes.

At the end,

I only had enough food
for one of my dying boys.

I had to choose between them.

But I loved them both too much.

So I tossed a coin
and let fate decide.

My youngest was saved.

But a week later he died anyway.

Now, you also
know what it feels like

to condemn one
innocent to save another.

I have a message for Marmion.

The master isn't
receiving guests.

If you don't let me in,
he's going to be very angry.

Never keep a lady waiting.

Try from your side.

(SIGHS)

- Ready?
- Yeah.

(ROCHEFORT STRAINING)

The plaster's old.

If I could get a proper grip...

Try again.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Ah!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Okay-

Go for it.

And don't stop no matter what.

- Are you sure?
- Just do it!

- (YELLING)
- (BONE CRUNCHING)

(GROANING)

Couldn't get a glass of
wine, could I? Bit parched.

Can you walk?

It's my shoulder that is
dislocated, not my legs.

You'll have to put it back in.

No. I'm not a doctor.

Brace yourself and pull as hard
as you can. Any fool can do it.

(PORTHOS GRUNTING)

- This will hurt.
- Just get on with it.

It will be my pleasure.

(SCREAMING)

That was either a
wounded boar, or Porthos.

What was all that noise about?

- I hurt my shoulder.
- Is that all?

ROCHEFORT: I thought
you had been dismissed.

TREVILLE: Till the King says
otherwise, I'm still a Musketeer.

Make yourself useful
and give me a pistol.

PORTHOS: What's she doing here?

She is helping us.

You'll have to explain
that to me later.

Do you really think that your family
would want you to do this in revenge?

To play God with
other people's lives?

How can I know
what they would want?

They're not here to tell me.

We are all that's
left of our village.

We should have
died, but we didn't.

We were kept
alive for a purpose.

Gerberoy is gone.

But we shall see it
is never forgotten.

- (MAN EXCLAIMS)
- (THUDDING)

I heard you broke a window.

Better that than my neck.

Athos.

Oh, Your Majesty.
Thank God you're safe.

It's good to see you, Captain.

God was watching
over you, Your Majesty.

God and the Musketeers.

- How's the King?
- MARGUERITE: Still with Marmion.

I pray he hasn't been harmed.

Next time, try using
the door, all right?

This is all very moving, but can we get
on with the business of saving the King?

Get the Queen to safety.

And...

Come straight back.

They'll know the King is missing
by now. They'll have sent the guards.

We need to get out while
we still have a chance.

MARMION: just a little longer.

We'll leave now and
there's still time to escape.

We'll just melt back into
the land. They'll never find us.

MARMION: No one leaves until
the King has suffered as we did.

You have tormented him
with the loss of his family.

You've made him
realise what he did to us.

What more can you teach him?

He can learn what it
is to be dead inside.

To spend every moment
as a living corpse.

You never intended
for us to leave, did you?

You mean for us to die here.

You can still turn
back from the brink.

Look it's not too late, Jacques.

Jacques died in Gerberoy.

I am Marmion.

Untie her.

No you can't, you can't.

Please don't harm
her. I beg you, please.

Time to make another
choice, Your Majesty.

Call correctly and
the woman goes free.

And get it wrong and she dies.

No. Why? What has
she ever done to you?

Nothing. She's an innocent,
as my children were.

Why should she be
spared and not them?

Well, are you ready?

Of course, you can always refuse,
but then I'll just kill her anyway.

No, Your Majesty.
I beg you, don't call.

Don't make his call.

Don't, don't.

Tails.

Marmion, wait.
Please wait, please!

Look me in the eyes
before you kill me.

Think of your wife and children,

and how they
would judge you now.

Do that,

and shoot if you want.

Do not talk of them to me.

- They'd be ashamed.
- She's right, Jacques.

It is not my choice.

The rules of the game
must be observed.

Then take me then.

Take me. My life for hers.

- You wanted a life, take mine.
- No, D'Artagnan.

Do you think I can just stand there
and watch you die? I won't do it.

I can't do it.

Let us test your resolve.

Untie him.

You are free to go.

Yes. I offer you your release.

You can live the rest of your life
in careless freedom, and she dies.

Please.

- D'Artagnan, go get help.
- Not a chance.

There is no need for
your sacrifice. You can live.

I've made my offer.

You would die for her. Why?

Because I love her.

Promise me you'll let her go.

MARMION: One life
for another. Why not?

Girl lives, you die.

Please, brother,
don't do this, please.

The game must be
played to the end.

- (GUN FIRES)
- No!

(WHIMPERING)

Why?

It was my choice, brother.

(SOBBING)

(WHISPERS) There's two.

Right. You two take this
corridor and we'll take the lower.

Attack on my command.

Yes, Captain.

One.

Stay here.

You'll be safe.

You almost sound
as though you care.

I'm coming with you.

(SNIFFLING)

(GRUNTS)

Marmion, wait.
Marmion, listen to me.

What now? Another sacrifice?
Your life for the King's?

No, yours.

Follow the rules
of your own game.

Either the King dies,
or you let us all go.

Let the coin decide.

D'Artagnan, have you gone mad?

At least this way
you get a chance.

No, you're right.

Fate must decide.

I don't like this game.

Call correctly and you all live.

If you are wrong,

you personally will
execute the King.

I forbid this.

You make the call.

If the King's head
is face up, he dies.

If it is tails, you all live.

(LOUIS SHOUTING)

(SOBBING)

Now!

(GUNFIRE)

MARMION: Don't let them get out!

You're welcome.

Where's Marmion?

Bring him, I want his head!

I want him dead!

Stay there, Sire.

The Dauphin, the Queen...

- Safe and well, Your Majesty.
- Thank God.

You'll soon be reunited.

Take this. You must go.

Marmion!

Aren't you going to
plead for your life?

Why? Are you
going to show mercy?

No.

You can't kill a man
who is already dead.

Hmm.

I've never much
cared for riddles.

(SNIFFS)

The traitor Marmion is dead.

Rochefort, you are a hero.

Your prompt arrival saved me.

While you encouraged that
madman to gamble with my life.

I had to stall him, Sire.
It's all I could think of.

I admit you played a brave part,
but it was a very dangerous game.

Thank God you are well, Sire.

You deserted your King, Madame.

And you are dressed like a man.

I risked my life to get help.

Vacate your rooms in
the Louvre immediately.

Rochefort, come.

We must discuss how I
can be better protected.

So that is the
reward for virtue,

to be left with nothing.

Not entirely. You
have my respect.

Once upon a time, that might
have been important to me.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank God.

(ANNE SOBBING)

You have suffered too much
in my service, Constance.

I am sorry for it.

I am only glad to see you
and the Dauphin safe and well.

Why does everyone hate me?

The people love you, Sire.

There'll always be
lunatics and malcontents.

These days, they seem to
be hiding around every corner.

Rochefort will
keep them from me.

- I love you.
- I know.

I don't care what people think.

I don't care what they say.

This is my life and...

I want to spend the
rest of it with you.

Do I get a say in this?

Isn't that young woman married?

Yes, Sire.

I believe she is.

Bless this forthcoming
marriage, O Lord.

I pray my marriage
will be happy.

- Get behind cover!
- Inside, inside.

ROCHEFORT: Aramis
wears a jewelled crucifix.

Bring it to me.

I mean, the princess
might still be in danger.

There's no need for alarm. We're
in Paris now. She'll be perfectly safe.

D'Artagnan and I,
we love each other.

You think I'll
accept your charity?

If you have any sense.

Put her on her side, gently.

If we were to do this, the captain
is going to answer to me personally.

(TH EME MUSIC PLAYING)
